This guide offers the best biking, hiking, stand up paddling, blading, and skiing locations from all over the world. It’s for those who consider the activities section of most travel guides to be too small and too tame. Use it as a resource to plan your next outdoor travel adventure.
We’ll start in and around Munich and explore from there.
Munich is the capital and largest city in Bavaria, Germany. It is centrally located in Europe and close to mountains, lakes, and rivers, which means it offers lots of opportunities for sporty adventures.
The 300 km River Isar flows through the city. Bike paths line the river and crisscross through the English Garden, one of the world’s largest urban public parks (bigger than New York’s Central Park). Within the park, you can find surfers at the wave near the Eisbach every day of the year.
There are several lakes in and around the city, perfect for swimming and stand up paddleboarding.
Munich is under 2 hours from the Bavarian Alps, a perfect playground for road cycling, mountain biking, alpine and skate skiing, hiking, climbing, and klettersteig.
